This gadget scans the chemical makeup of the pill and does a lookup against a built-in database.

That's it.

So what about this is AI versus simply inputting data into a computer and doing a database lookup based on that?

What part of the word "insurance" do you not understand.

You have been continuously employed for 26 years and have not needed to collect the unemployment insurance that you have paid for.

Would you also say that you have paid for insurance on your house for 26 years so you should now be allowed to burn it down and have the insurance company build you a new one?

It's my understanding that there's almost no ballot fraud happening at all through any means.

At least nobody has ever shown any actual evidence that it's a significant or consequential issue.

I'm not in or from the USA but I have a bank account at a US bank for the purpose of paying US based suppliers.

I interact with that account through the bank's website and can transfer money directly to it from my main bank account and make payments from that account through their website.

When I initially set up the account I assumed that those payments would be some kind of an electronic funds transfer.

Nope.

You enter the mailing address for each payee, and they print and mail a physical cheque to them from the bank.

Really.

Everything about the transaction is through their website right up to the point that they print and mail a cheque. And I still find that amazing.

Well I can tell you're not in the GTA where it's been in the 20s for a while, and last year most of the summer felt like one big heat wave, where it was technically 6 back-to-back.

It's not even a good joke, it's a Gutfeld-grade groaner.

One downside of a laterally centered driving position is much worse visibility when overtaking. A centered driving position is good for a track car where the chances of overtaking on the left or right are roughly 50/50, but on the street where the odds are heavily biased one way or the other depending on whether it's a LHD/RHD country, having your driver's seat on the correct side makes it much easier.

So what's your suggested alternative?

Karl Marx's system sounds pretty good on paper. It really does; I read the Communist Manifesto several years ago and it's really an interesting take on society and social organization.

But the USSR didn't work out so well. I suspect it's because human nature (i.e. personal greed, for lack of a better term) isn't compatible with Marx's utopia.

The purpose of a factory is not to provide jobs.

It's intended to made widgets that can then be sold at a profit.

It's not a social welfare program.

"The case is expected to go to court between November 1, 2027, and February 25, 2028, The Register reported. Afterward, it could go to trial."

So two years later, after Tesco has completed all of the emergency work that's required to change their IT systems to something else, then this matter will be heard.

That timeframe is ridiculous. There's no reason why the courts can't operate more efficiently than they do other than that the lawyers and judges have no incentive to move things along.

How many other cases are old news and no longer particularly relevant by the time they're decided?

Also I would point out that there's nothing socialist about modern American fascism, considering that there's very little flirtation with collective ownership of the means of production going on (other than Sam Altman getting Trump to consider having the US government buy the gigantic economic black-hole-bomb he's built), but they do enact deals that look a good bit like socialism for corporations the regime favors...

This is only possible because the US has first-past-the-post elections, a clunky and primitive voting method that can enable this situation. Moving to more advanced voting methods like ranked choice or STAR voting prevents a two-party stranglehold from forming.

Doesn't matter if it's something or nothing.

If it has a valuation (and apparently it does) then it can be taxed based on that value.

Agreed, in fact I think that's a major reason to avoid use of non-hybrid PQC.
